But the PUBLISHERS couldn't have forced through agency pricing without Apple's collusion. And I dispute the idea that it lowered the Kindle's price. Amazon has always maintained the Kindle and Kindle store as separate entities, each one has to turn their own profit, and one does not affect the other.
